Kelsey Grammer Is Cam’s Old Flame on ‘Modern Family’

On Modern Family, Kelsey Grammer guest starred as Cam’s old flame, Keifth (that’s right, Keifth), a velvety voiced former circus ringmaster who left a younger Cam as one might imagine a carny would, without a goodbye or a note. Instead, “just some peanut shells on the floor that must have fallen from his glorious black boot.”

Keifth comes onto the scene after a cooking disaster forces Cam and Mitchell to call for an e-butler service. Turns out that e-butlers provide pretty much any service you could hope for, including bringing a roasted pig to a party and distracting the family with a peacock while you switch out the bad roasted pig for the good roasted pig. Cam and Keifth were able to have the heart-to-heart that was long overdue, discovering that Keifth went away to join another circus, leaving Cam to blossom into the success he always knew he’d be.

Modern Family airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on ABC. Watch clips and full episodes of Modern Family for free on Yahoo View.
